Completion time: 10 minutes

Level: Beginner

Step 1: Prepare the charms

Lay out in front of you:

• your bracelet
• the freshwater pearl charms
• the round rings
• the jewelry pliers

This will allow you to easily visualize the placement of the charms on the chain. Leave 2 or 3 links between each charm.

Step 2: Open a ring

Using two pliers:

• hold the ring with the first pliers
• slightly twist the ring with the second pliers

⚠️ Do not pull the ring outwards: you must twist it sideways so as not to deform it.

Step 3: Add the charm

Thread:

1. the freshwater pearl charm
2. then a link of the bracelet into the open ring.

Step 4: Close the ring

Close the ring using the two pliers, reversing the movement.

Make sure the ring is securely closed so that the charm remains perfectly fixed.

Step 5: Distribute the charms

Repeat the operation on different links of the bracelet.

For a harmonious look, space the charms 1 to 2 links apart.

You can:

• alternate white and pinkish pearls
• slightly vary the spacing

Your bracelet is finished

You get a delicate and luminous bracelet, perfect for an elegant everyday look.

This piece of jewelry can be worn alone for a minimalist style or combined with other bracelets for a very trendy stacked effect.
